Anyone have ideas or suggestions for manufacturers or fabricators that have storefront offerings similar to the attached image. It is the thiness of the framing memebers that we are intrigued by.
The interesting thing is judging by the reflections, the second story muntins are not simulated. And the windows are operable!
The mullion thinness seems deceptive because it looks as if the manufacturer or fabricator finished the mullions to a point. So, they're probably relatively standard width... but those windows!?
We are all aware that the picture shows steel windows, right? You wont get that kind of beauty (and strength) out of aluminum storefront. The mullions are finished to a point in order to allow for the wind load on such a large expanse. Without it, the windows would have blown in years ago. Go to www.steelwindows.com to get what you need to do this style of window. No...I am not a salesman.
Just to add to imanske's steel window comment. Steel windows are rarely ever used in modern construction. Usually not worth the bother. You will see them used in situations where a window assembly needs to be fire rated (rare).
The image above shows a single pane assembly. This is unwise in most climates. You can get away with it in hot, dry climates (California, Mediterranean), but everywhere else 2 panes brings such an incredible performance upgrade. Once you have two panes, aluminum wins every single time.
